Filmed over six years, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims from Spain’s dictatorship (1939–75) under General Francisco Franco. A powerful and poetic cautionary tale about fascism, and the dangers of forgetting the past, this award-winning 2018 documentary offers a cinematic portrait of the first attempt in history to prosecute Franco’s crimes, whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades because of a 1977 amnesty law. Executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar, the film brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face—even today, decades after the dictator’s death.
